Chapter 182: A Clever Horse Thief
The terrain is excellent, the mountain is more than 200 meters high, the size of the radius is five or six kilometers, the top of the mountain is flat, and it is not a problem to station five or six hundred people. The mountain goes straight up and down, except for a small path on the shady side, except for the skilled warriors, it is extremely difficult to climb the mountain.
"It's a great place. "These horse thieves are clever enough to find such a good place. You can see the figure of the beast here, ordinary people can't live here, but there are more than 200 horse thieves, as long as you send people to guard the intersection of the mountain at all times, and set up a portal at the top of the mountain, even if it is a beast, it is not difficult to deal with. It's just that when you go up and down the mountain, it's a little troublesome.
Beasts are not stupid, large groups of people travel, they will not take the initiative to attack, unless they encounter a large group of wolves, but here, basically you can't see a large group of wolves.
"Let's go up and have a look. Feleg said confidently, even if there is a mechanism on this mountain road, he is not afraid, not to mention that there is a martial saint named Maya.
"Good. The two Orions had great confidence in Feleg, looking at the magic robes on his body, they were a little bolder, even if there were thousands of troops, they dared to break through behind Feleg, this is the weight of magicians in the hearts of civilians.
The road is very narrow, with a cliff on one side and a cliff on the other, and this is indeed an easy place to defend and difficult to attack, even if it is a regular army, it is impossible to capture it without paying a price, and if the mountain is well prepared, it is possible to block thousands of men and horses.
All the way up, there were no cold arrows, no rolling wood and stones, and the original trap had been destroyed, revealing holes in the ground. There are many types of traps, ranging from large enough to block the entire road surface and small enough to trap people's ankles, and there are a lot of them, but all of them are completely destroyed at this time.
Looking at these traps, Feleg gasped, these things didn't have much effect on him, as long as he had a magic shield to protect him, even if he fell into it, there was a sharp weapon inserted in it, and he couldn't hurt it. However, the number of traps is extremely large, the types are varied, and the design is very reasonable.
This is unusual, an ordinary horse thief has such a skill? Looking at the layout of the trap, it is obvious that he is a master of camping, even if it is a hurricane division, it is nothing more than that.
Someone has come to destroy all the traps here, and such an idea flashed through Feleg's mind, and then immediately denied it, absolutely impossible.
If you attack the mountain by yourself, it is normal to destroy some traps, but you will not destroy all the traps, in battle, how can you have this kung fu, even if you have, there is no need to do that.
Looking closely at the traps, Feleg found that they did not work at all, but were artificially cleared, as if the horse thief had dug the trap and had no time to disguise it.
Maya shook her head: "It's strange, these traps have been disguised, but the camouflage has been removed, you see those branches floating in the soil, placed in a neat and orderly manner, it can't be done by the enemy, but it seems that the horse thief made it himself." ”
Feleg followed Maya's fingers, and sure enough, every other way, you could see that the branches and floating earth had been thrown down the cliff, but they were not very clean, and people could see it.
No one attacked, all the way to the top of the hill safely, just as Feleg imagined, at the junction of the summit of the mountain, there was a split camp gate, sealing the path, in front of the camp gate, there were four meters wide spikes exposed to the ground.
"There are masters, such a design, it is not difficult to trap more troublesome, the defense is tight, not to mention the hundreds of cavalry in the town, even if it is ten times more, it will not be able to capture here, a good place." Feleg sighed and said, who said that horse thieves are all brainless guys?
The traps along the way, if all of them play a role, as long as people are arranged every day, the traps that will be destroyed by wild beasts will be repaired, and it will be enough to block one or two hundred people from attacking the mountain. Although the trap will be destroyed by wild beasts, it will also provide ready-made game to the mountain, and it will not be a loss to repair the trap.
"Let's be careful. Maya looked at the open door and clenched the short sword in her hand, there were two transparent holes in the back of the sword, which were the marks left by the black stone worm, and the memory metal could not be recovered.
Feleg shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I just used magic to investigate, there is no one in this camp, it seems that the horse thieves have been killed, or have they run away?"
It's really strange, it doesn't look like someone is attacking the mountain, but in such a good place, how can a horse thief give it up. Although it looks a little simple, the layout is reasonable, and there are only more than 200 people to build such a cottage, but it takes a lot of time and a lot of effort.
Walking into the gate of the camp, there is a small square in front of you, behind the square, there are rows of barracks, all wooden houses, there is no way to burn bricks in the forest, and the horse thieves have limited manpower, there is a lot of wood, it is relatively southern, it will not be too cold all year round, and it is much easier to build wooden houses.
In the middle of the square, there are mountains of grain, rows of neatly arranged beast carcasses on the left, and gold coins and silk on the right.
At both ends of the grain, there are two wooden stakes with the thickness of the wrists, and above the two wooden stakes, there is a cloth banner about five meters long, but it is not the flag of a horse thief, and there is a row of large characters on it.
"Respected magician, and that beautiful young lady, we are afraid of you, really afraid, we are gone, Qianmen, please. The thing on the ground is a gift for the two of them. Horse thief, respectfully!"
"This ......" Feleg was dumbfounded. Maya was also surprised, and the two hunters were stupid, they didn't know how to read, they cared about the food and belongings on the ground.
"High ...... It's really ......."
Maya kept nodding her head, and sure enough, these horse thieves were not stupid, they seemed to be too smart. In the village below the mountain, they must have eyeliner and know that the two of them are looking for them these days.
It is not easy to run such a cottage, and it is not easy to give it up at will, but this mind alone is not comparable to ordinary people, and these things are left.
The words are also beautiful, in fact, these things, they know very well, the magician will not look at them, this is left to them, to give an explanation to Mink Town.
"Is that all?" Maya looked at Feleg with a strange look and asked, people have left things so politely, and they also show that they are afraid of you, and they fled and no longer robbed things here, and still chased?
Although these people are horse thieves, Maya also looks down on them, but ...... Chasing and killing these people again seems to be a bit excessive, and the so-called killing is not too much.
"Chase, why not?" said Feleg.
"Huh?" Maya didn't think there was any point in chasing down sensible horse thieves. The eight empires of the Eastern Continent, no matter how great their monarchs are, cannot guarantee that there are no horse thieves within their borders. In some principalities, there are a lot of horse thieves, as long as it doesn't disturb the empire, the empire usually doesn't pay much attention to it, not to mention that this kind of thing shouldn't be done by a magician.
"Don't be surprised, I don't want to destroy them now, I just want to see what kind of person is leading this clever horse thief. Feleg said with a smile, he was too curious.
"I'm also curious. Maya laughed.
There is no need for them here, the two Orions will send the news to Mink Town, and the things here also need to be sent back. This is the Demon Domain Forest, and the timid don't dare to come in at all, and it's not easy to transport these things out.
And the two hunters also kept an eye on it, the sheriff and the grain collector are not good things, these things, you can't let them know, otherwise a gold coin, a grain of grain will not fall into the hands of the people, or put it in the hands of old John, which is more reassuring.
Don't look at them as Tawa Town, the mayor of Tawa is far less famous than Old John, of course, it will not be as bad as the sheriff and the grain collector, and it is normal for things to be detained a little by him.
However, Feleg did not let them go back for the time being, and the Orions had some experience in tracking, and although there was little hope, Feleg still wanted to ask them for help. It's dangerous in the Demon Forest, but there are magicians here, and they readily agree.
"It's hard to chase, this horse thief is too smart. Maya didn't approve of Feleg's decision, but she wanted to meet them.
The horse thief seemed to have become stupid, and his whereabouts along the way were obvious, even without the help of Orion, Feleg could easily find the traces, making the two of them wonder if this was a trap, with their previous performance, it was impossible to leave such obvious traces.
However, two days later, just as they were about to leave the forest, two samurai in bright armor stood in the middle of the road. Feleg recognized it at a glance, this outfit was the standard equipment of the Mayan Empire soldiers, the kind of ordinary soldiers, not the equipment of elite cavalry.
"Who are you?" asked Feleg.
"Respect...... Target...... Enchanter...... The lord ......, "Is it a stammer?" Feleg remembers that the army does not accept stammering. The Continent of the Gods has a large population, and it is easy to recruit soldiers, and it is impossible to become a soldier if the conditions are poor.
"We ...... Be...... The horse thief ...... "It's not stammering, it's scared, Feleg can clearly see that the legs of the two are constantly shaking."
This...... Such a horse thief? Such a man, who can rob all the villages within a 200-kilometer radius of two towns, and be able to defeat the army of that stupid grain collector?
The grain collector and the sheriff are just gentlemen, and they have no skills, but those soldiers are out-and-out soldiers, but the number is much smaller than in the establishment, and even so, it is not a horse thief who is weak at the sight of a magician can deal with it.
"Are you horse thieves?" Feleg couldn't believe it.
"Yes...... Enchanter...... My lord, don't kill us. Hearing Feleg's voice, the two horse thieves, who were clearly dressed and armoured, and had no weapons, immediately fell to their knees and kept kowtowing.
Feleg was, just like that, he could still be a horse thief? Thinking about it again, it seems that something is not right, the herald who died in the forest has a lot of sword marks on his body, could it be that he also used a trick and did not fight head-on? According to Feleg's judgment, such horse thieves, even if there are a hundred, do not dare to attack a regular army soldier, they are too bold.
